Research and Science

Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys is Russia's leading university for the training of professional personnel for the metallurgical and mining industries. The learning process is accompanied by advanced technologies and modern teaching methods. Students participate in solving practical problems, prepare projects for further implementation, conduct research. In the classrooms interactive methods of teaching are actively used, business problems are solved that pursue the goal of developing the skills of students in conditions close to market ones.

In the institute of alloys and steel there are 3 engineering complexes and 50 centers of excellence. In the laboratories joint projects of Russian and foreign scientists are realized, access to work in which is open to students. The research base of the Institute consists of 34 departments, 17 laboratories and 7 self-supporting departments, employing more than 350 specialists.

Priorities of scientific work

Scientific research activities are regulated by the Academic Council, which outlined the priorities of the work:

• Control.
• Economy.
• Metallurgy (high technology in the production, processing of metals, conservation of resources, ecology of industrial activity, certification of metals).
• Computer science.
• Material science of alloys, metals of various types (powder, amorphous, technical diamonds, superconducting materials, composite and semiconductor materials, etc.).

Reviews

The National Research Technological University MISiS received positive feedback from the majority of students for the rich curricula, skillful professional teachers, an excellent material base and modern teaching methods. Many noted the comfortable living conditions in the hostel, the presence of several places of food at different levels. Students talk about the rich social life, a large number of additional educational opportunities in the form of lectures, seminars, courses.

Not without some share of negativity. Such reviews describe the high prices for education. It is noted that studying at a university is rather complicated, and only 50% of students are often left to graduate groups. Many share their impressions of how easy it is to enter the Institute of Steel and Alloys (faculties sometimes experience shortage of entrants), but this does not mean that it will be easy to learn. According to students' observations, the institute is very large, which led to high bureaucratization and very slow resolution of issues with retake of examinations, tests.

Nevertheless, most students are sure: if you want to study, make a career, get knowledge, then it's worth entering the Institute of Steel and Alloys (Moscow). Faculties and departments are very different here, the university gives a high level of knowledge, and the exactness of teachers will help to master them in full.

Address

To all those wishing to receive a specialty of an engineer, a technologist, a specialist in the field of nanotechnology, the way to the Institute of Steel and Alloys is opened. The address of the institution in Moscow: Leninsky Prospect, Building 4 (Oktyabrskaya metro station).
